Hi,
We are located in California,
Looking to get our first CNC, the Selexx brand is the top of our list, due to budget reasons; searching all over the internet and woodweb forums did not find much feed back good or bad.
please just give any feed back for Selexx pal or any model of the Omnitech is a reliable machine?
Also I will welcome any contact info for the closest tech to Los Angeles.
Thank you in advance.

Just make sure that you buy one with the Fanuc controller. The original Selexx were sold with Siemens control and had some issues. I was told this by a Selexx dealer.
From contributor ya
as i see in there website they use taiwan :
"Syntec PC based controller with graphic interface",
no fanuc no simens
From contributor Ra
There Selexx series uses Fanuc for at least 10 years. Siemens before that. Call them and ask for David Payne, very knowledgable sales guy.
From contributor Ak
Thanks for all your responses,
it is with Fanuc controller, and it is the preferred controller as so many told us.
10 HP vac.
we are planing to upgrade the KCD to commander.
I just wanted to get any feed back about reliability and how easy to find a tech around Los Angeles.
Thx

Akram,
Thank you for your interest in Omnitech CNC routers. For factual clarification:
The Seimens controller was initially used on the Selexx series at the introduction of the line through 2003 when we introduced the Fanuc oi-19 controller / servo motor system. Although this represents a limited number of Seimens controller machines, there are still some in service today.
Yaakov Katz,
We are a CNC machine manufacturer that supports all third party software platforms as the Fanuc controller will run them all.
We make our own spindles that are cartridge type ISO 9002/2002 certified. With our spindle repair facility in Pineville NC we can repair or replace a spindle in as little as 72 hrs. Although being ISO certified, you can repair it at any qualified spindle repair facility. (NO proprietary parts... )
Anderson Corp, our manufacturing parent company is based in Taipei Taiwan with facilities around the world. We have been importing CNC machines into the USA since the mid 1980's with close to 5,000 installations in North America of which Omnitech represents about 10%.
The Spectra Series from Omnitech uses the Andi / Syntec controller. This controller is used on a number of Anderson products in the wood and printed circuit board industry.
Please contact me directly for pricing on the particular Omnitech machine to meet your needs.
Akram,
Our nearest technician to Los Angeles is just north of Santa Barbara. We provide a two year warranty including technician travel and labor for the first year. Post warranty, he is within easy reach of your shop.
Ralph Snader,
Thanks for the props!
From contributor Jo
All, keep in mind that the location of the nearest Tech isn't always the correct answer. Techs typically aren't sitting at home waiting for your call. They are on the road and although they may live nearby he could be across the country when you need him. It's just the way the business is. I have a great Stiles tech that lives in walking distance to our shop but sometimes it just doesn't work out when we need a tech. One time he was in India - that's not close!

Bought a 4 x8 Omnitech seleex mate. 2007. Has been a great machine. Fanuc controller with fanuc server motors. T.J. Senn or Bob Nichols are very good at tech support.
From contributor Ak

David, i will be contacting you for as how to set up our used one we just got it yesterday, waiting for the transportation company to bring it to our shop.
Joe Knobbe

Thx

Have had a Selexx Mate for about 6
years.
Very few problems, never needed a tech on site.
Have called my dealer in Toronto a couple of times to help troubleshoot a couple of very minor issues.
Solved the problems over the phone.

From contributor To
I have 2 Pals 1 is a 2007 the other is a 2012 , great machines, great customer service..... Always helpful my machines have never been down....
From contributor Ry
I need some help. I have used a MultiCam 5000 at my previous employer and I am wondering if any of the previous training will crossover to the Selexx Pal that my current employer has. The MultiCam was very easy to learn to use. I ran it for over 10 years. I just want to do some homework before they throw me on it after the New Year. Thanks for the help in advance.
From contributor St
I have an omni-tech cnc router. I have not had good luck with their tech support or my machine. I have had it for about 3 years now and I have had to replace: six linear guide way carriages, three pneumatic pop up pins, the z axis homing sensor, and now the z axis servo motor.
When working with tech support they have at times not even responded, which warrented a follow up email to receive a response, sometimes delayed by up to a week. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
From contributor Ia
